1 INTRODUCTION Interest in estimating the genetic effective population size of exploited marine fishes continues to grow as fisheries scientists and managers pay increasing attention to the genetic state of fish stocks (Hare et al., 2011; Marandel et al., 2019; Ovenden et al., 2015). The two genetic effective size parameters, Nb (effective number of breeders) and Ne (effective population size), are applicable in a fisheries management context (Hare et al., 2011).

AbstractAnthropogenic climate change is forecast to drive regional climate disruption and instability across the globe. These impacts are likely to be exacerbated within biodiversity hotspots, both due to the greater potential for species loss but also to the possibility that endemic lineages might not have experienced significant climatic variation in the past, limiting their evolutionary potential to respond to rapid climate change.

AbstractObtaining reliable estimates of the effective number of breeders (Nb) and generational effective population size (Ne) for fishery-important species is challenging because they are often iteroparous and highly abundant, which can lead to bias and imprecision. However, recent advances in understanding of these parameters, as well as the development of bias correction methods, have improved the capacity to generate reliable estimates.
